I know this is not Spain related, but it's clearly 'Buddying up con other travellers'...

Someone would do this here? How do you think Spaniards will react?

FREE HUGS

Thanks Belen, It's soooo cool
I'm always for free hugs
BTW, where can I get the lyrics of the song?

Sick Puppies - All The Same Song Lyrics

I don't mind where you come from
As long as you come to me
I don't like illusions I can't see
Them clearly

I don't care no I wouldn't dare
To fix the twist in you
You've shown me eventually
What you'll do

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long are you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Hours slide and days go by
Till you decide to come
And in between it always seems too long
All of a sudden

And I have the skill, yeah I have the will
To breathe you in while I can
However long you stay
Is all that I am

I don't mind...
I don't care...
As long are you're here

Go ahead tell me you'll leave again
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's always the same

Wrong or right
Black or white
If I close my eyes
I's all the same

In my life
The compromise
I close my eyes
It's all the same

Go ahead say it you're leaving
You'll just come back running
Holding your scarred heart in hand
It's all the same
And I'll take you for who you are
If you take me for everything
Do it all over again
It's all the same

Wow, Belen
Thanks sooo much
Nava

Just to let you know that we are still doing this in Madrid! This is the link to the video we recorded at the airport:

And we do it every weekend in Sol as well, this sunday at 13pm we'll be there again!

Someone?

I got a free hug from a couple of girls in Plaza Mayor in Salamanca on Sunday. I think they just though I was really, really attractive though.

I think it's a great idea to show that you care about the human spirit and that you value life in general.

HUGS TO EVERYONE,

Shawn

Thank you Nava for coming yesterday! It was great!

I've put some pictures up in www.abrazosgratismadrid.tk and next meeting:

This Friday the 22nd in Sol - I'll be by five pm in el Oso.

hmmmm... the fart button was a nice touch.

are those free too?

saludos,
jer...

Ack--we really wanted to come by and forgot... Do you have an email list?

P.S. This is going to sound really curmudgeonly, but if I didn't know you, I would probably figure that this was some kind of elaborate pick-pocketing scheme...
